Good morning world wide webbers! For my first blog I think I shall talk about the title of my blog....I am because we are. I am because we are was given as one definition of ubuntu, an African philosophy. I saw it posted online this morning along with an anecdote about a group of children in an African village. I really liked this saying. It is simple and true (true is probably not the word I want to use, as truths change over time and I feel that this saying will always stand). Whether we like it or not, we are all in this world together. We breathe the same air, we drink the same water, we bask in the warmth of the same sun and we forget this. I am no better than anyone else who walks this earth, and I do not believe there is anyone better than me. The Lions Club International toast is "Not above you, nor below you, but beside you." I have always liked that toast (always toasted with water as well). There is so much sadness and strife in this world and most of it does not need to be.
Well that is my first blog. It is a beautiful day outside so I am going to go and enjoy it, bask in the suns warm glow as millions of others are doing the same.
I hope all is well.
